Do you plan on overclocking it?

tdp from nvda says it's 250w, so let say 350w for kingpin, i'd say 650w+ to be safe.

Then get a 650W PSU like a Corsair RM650x

I'd go for a 650W PSU then but make sure you get a good quality one from a reputable company.

Yeah, I will. I'm looking at EVGA Supernova, Corsair RM and Seasonic Prime atm.

So that card is 250w tdp. Your CPU is about 90w. Your fans, usbs, harddrive and what not is about 30w. That will put your load around 400w. Assuming 80% efficiency you could get away with 480w on a technical aspect. If you had a 500w power supply you would be fine. If you think you are going to be plugging in speakers, microphones and what not you may just want to spend the extra $10/15 and go to about 600w.

If you planned for future update, just go for bigger one like 750w then. 

Or you may save some for 650w then. 

Cheers.

kingpin? and just a little overclocking? weird...

 

I would say 650 watt tier c+

 

Yeah I know it's a bit weird but this card is cheaper than any other 980 Ti I've found (especially other Kingpin cards), plus it's a Kingpin.

Sorry about the late response my internet isn't working great today

Well, I haven't had wifi for 4 days on my phone now, so I kinda get it. Then you got a great card!
